The women packed their belongings from Lu Family Village and entered Ninghe Town.
Huang Rong and Guo Fu, carrying the two little ones, also crossed the barrier, and were immediately surprised.
"The outermost heavens?"
"This is so beautiful, a paradise on earth."
Lin Bufan said, "You two are more beautiful than me."
Guo Fu's resentment had completely dissipated, and she laughed and scolded, "You're so sweet-talking."
"Huh?" She suddenly became curious again: "Does 'the two of us' refer to me and my mother?"
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Huang Rong couldn't help but blush.
She recalled how the midwife had been careless when she gave birth, mistaking Lin Bufan for her husband.
After giving birth to Xiang'er, she was too exhausted to give birth to Po Lu. The midwife pulled Lin Bufan over and asked him to give "Madam" some extra strength.
That scene was so embarrassing! Jing-gege was standing outside the door, looking completely at a loss.
This huge blunder and misunderstanding left her utterly humiliated in front of all the heroes.
At that time, a heroes' gathering was being held, and many heroes knew about it.
It doesn't matter if she loses face, but it's Jing-gege who loses face big time.
Young Master Lin simply packed his bags and left, returning to Lu Family Village with Lu Wushuang, Wanyan Ping, and the others. He was spared any awkwardness.
Sighing inwardly, Huang Rong felt even more awkward looking at Lin Bufan, unsure of how to face him.
"Mrs. Guo is indeed beautiful. Like mother, like daughter, but..."
Lin Bufan admired Huang Rong's beauty, then turned to look at Guo Fu and took the baby from Guo Fu's arms.
"Fu-mei, when I say you two are pretty, I mean you and Xiang-er."
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Young Master Lin is a decent person. If he had really praised my beauty, Fu'er would have been angry, and I wouldn't know how to face Brother Jing.
"Madam Guo," Lin Bufan said, looking at Huang Rong again, rocking the baby in his arms, and smiling, "You don't mind, do you?"
"I don't mind anything?"
Huang Rong was in a state of confusion and could no longer distinguish between the sentences.
Lin Bufan said, "I'm saying that you and Fumei are both beautiful, but Xiang'er might become even more beautiful in the future. You and Fumei won't be angry if I say that?"
Huang Rong smiled broadly, and her mood immediately lightened a bit.
"Of course I'm not angry. Xiang'er is my child. When you praise her, you're praising me and Fu'er. We're quite happy."
Guo Fu pinched the child's cheek and said to Lin Bufan, "You, you really dare to say anything to make me and your mother happy. Xiang'er is still a child, how can you tell what she will look like in the future?"
"Of course, I know everything. When Xiang'er is sixteen, she will grow into one of the most beautiful women in the martial arts world."
"Hehehe, what kind of birthday present are you going to prepare for her, brother-in-law?"
"I will prepare three gifts for her, such as the ears of two thousand Mongol soldiers, fireworks like a sky full of stars, and disciples of the Golden Wheel Monk."
"This is getting more and more outrageous. What Mongolian soldiers, fireworks all over the sky, and the Golden Wheel Monk? I heard that you killed the Golden Wheel Monk long ago."
"Hehehe, that's right. Then we'll think about the gift later."
Lin Bufan teased the child in his arms: "Little Guo Xiang, do you like your big brother? Big brother will give you three gifts in the future."
"Giggle, giggle." The child danced with joy, laughing happily.
Guo Fu teased her younger sister, "Call him brother-in-law, not big brother."
Little Guo Xiang couldn't speak, so she couldn't call him "brother-in-law," and of course, she couldn't call him "big brother" either.
Her only reaction was to giggle; her big eyes were especially adorable.
Huang Rong handed Po Lu to Guo Fu, saying, "Fu'er, you hold your little brother while I go cook for you."
"Okay, Mother." Guo Fu smiled and said to Lin Bufan, "Mother is very happy today."
When guests arrived in Ninghe Town, the hostesses were kept very busy, each showing off their culinary skills.
Little Dragon Girl set up a stove outside the kitchen and carefully roasted a white-bellied fish, brushing honey on it.
Huang Rong walked over to her and asked, "Miss Long, what are you doing?"
Little Dragon Girl said, "Grilled fish, that's my favorite food, I'm sure you will too."
"I smell it, and it does smell quite fragrant, but it's overcooked, the application method is wrong, and it hasn't been marinated. The fish flavor and honey sweetness should only be on the surface, right?"
"Oh, you're right, my senior sisters said the same thing, saying that my baking wasn't good."
Xiaolongnu suddenly remembered that Huang Rong was an unparalleled cook and should have some expertise in culinary arts, so she asked Huang Rong how to grill fish.
Huang Rong taught her some details about food preparation, including cooking time, heat control, and knowledge about spices and seasonings.
He then personally demonstrated how to grill a fish, and the result was indeed much sweeter and more delicious than Xiaolongnu's.
Little Dragon Girl was amazed. "Madam Guo's cooking skills are indeed unparalleled. I have learned something new today."
"Try grilling a few more."
Huang Rong left Xiaolongnu and went to the kitchen.
Seeing that Wanyan Ping, Zhao Min, Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang each cooked several dishes for themselves, it was quite surprising.
Yang Buhui and Xiao Zhao were also helping.
Wanyan Ping only knew how to make fried dough sticks, Zhao Min learned how to cook noodles, and Lu Wushuang and Hong Lingbo respectively made beggar's chicken, pickled vegetables with tofu, stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and eggplant, braised pork, and braised shrimp.
Xiao Zhao also prepared several Persian dishes.
"Oh, Madam Guo, why are you coming in? You are a guest, you should sit outside and wait for your meal."
Lu Wushuang politely invited Huang Rong out of the kitchen.
Huang Rong smiled and said, "I've come to see what dishes you're making, and see if I can help out."
Lu Wushuang suddenly remembered that Huang Rong was a world-renowned cook.
